Non ATB uses- as an assessment and placement test into ESL classes

The CELSA is widely uses as an assessment and placement test. It accuractley places students into true
beginning and advanced plus ESL classes. When soley used as a placement test, student answer sheets
do not need to be sent to ACTT and can be scored locally. The cost of the CELSA site license is
based on the number of students tested annually. Please see the Placement Order form for details.

the CELSA site license.

Computer delivered for ATB and Placement

A single score can be used for both ATB and Placement. In that case, only the $9.50 ATB charge (not the .60 cent placement charge) applies.
